Throwback Thursday

Going through old photos you find things you’ve not seen before.

In the Internet Archive there was a notice that my father was class secretary and helped convene the 10th reunion.

Pencilled on the back of this 5×7 photo is the date-1937. No other details or notes but that clue means this photograph of my father standing by a chalkboard, was taken in Champaign-Urbana, at the University of Illinois. Looks like his handwriting. I transcribed the handwriting as best I could, from a closeup crop. See below. I see most of the women are wearing hats.
